I've tried everything.
We've had our female lovebird on Pregnyl shots for over a year. Every three months she would begin showing signs of breeding behavior and after a week or so she'd form an egg. She's been egg-bound once. And had cirurgy for egg removal twice (the first vet we had wasn't a certified AV and removed her egg even though it wasn't stuck).
The last time she seemed like she was forming an egg, she was swollen for over two weeks (she ended up not laying nor forming an egg) we decided to try a deslorelin implant (last month).
In the beginning she was completely back to her old self, which meant she wasn't hormonal. It looked like it was working.
After almost a month she's extremely territorial more aggressive that she's ever been, mating with the male all the time and her vent is starting to get swollen.
I don't understand. I don't know what more I can do. Please any advice would be greatly appreciated.
What worries me the most is that she's constantly taking x-rays and meds for how swollen she gets, I'm also terrified she might be unable to pass the egg again
They've been getting 14/15 hours of total darkness per night
They eat Harrisons pellets, seeds and nutriberries as treats, millet and fruit or veggies everyday - I also give them walnuts about 3 times a week
No nest, no nesting material (except when she gets under sheets when outside or gets to the paper towels which I remove from her as soon as I can)
